Grower Champagne

Here at The Italian Market we carry over fifty unique sparkling wines from all over the world.  But Champagne still reigns supreme as the premier sparkling wine region most requested by wine lovers.  The term “Grower Champagne” sets hearts racing in the wine geek sphere.  But what does it actually mean?

Simply, a Grower Champagne is wine that comes from vineyards owned and managed by the producer.  In many cases in Champagne grapes are purchased from growers and used to make wine, as is seen with many well known large name Houses (etc.  Veuve Clicquot, Moet & Chandon, Taittinger…).  

Grower Champagnes are often small producers who heavily emphasize their regional uniqueness and pure expression of terroir in their wines.  These wines are a tiny fraction of the Champagne market, but for those seeking to expand their knowledge and love of Champagne these wines are a delight.

Here at The Italian Market we carry eight Grower Champagnes, and many more “grower” sparkling wines from France, Italy, Spain, and America.
